One of the most alarming recent developments in the Bitcoin and altcoin world is the hacking of the official Tranching Protocol Twitter account. On September 22, the platform announced that its official account, @TranchingPro, had been compromised. The attackers used the platform’s name to share fraudulent content, misleading the community. Notably, the fake token distribution posts could cause many users to fall victim to scams.
Altcoin Account Hacked
Hackers took control of the platform’s account and posted deceptive content about a fake token launch and distribution process. These posts falsely claimed that Tranching Protocol was launching a new token, encouraging users to participate in the fraudulent activities. However, the platform’s officials clarified that there are no current plans for a new altcoin and emphasized that all such information was fake. The Tranching Protocol team urged the community to be cautious of such misleading posts. They also advised users to follow the new official Twitter account @GoTranching while they work to regain control of the hacked account. The team strongly requested that the community not click on, participate in, or share content from the compromised account.

Security Measures and Account Recovery
The Tranching Protocol team is actively working to regain control of the hacked account and will keep the community updated on their progress. Several technical measures are being taken to ensure the security of their accounts and to prevent similar attacks in the future.
